Abstract

The Leesman Index, recognised as the world’s largest independent benchmark for workplace environments, has offered invaluable Hybrid Workplace Design Insights into the dynamics of workspaces.

With over 70 million data points collected post-pandemic, Leesman’s findings serve as a roadmap for navigating the hybrid era. They highlight the rise of homeworking as a more effective environment for many, along with the challenges of noise, commuting, and poor office design.
